Can't Help It (Quintessential Quintuplets Fanfic)

Prologue: Everything Is Fine

A/N - Since there's going to be a new TV Special for the TQQ coming soon I've been brought back to my quintuplets phase.

This prologue pretty much starts off the same way as it did in the anime/manga, but I think the ending will leave you quite surprised so stick around for that.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this little series I made. More info on this fic will be at the end.

Hi. My name is Izumi.

Since you're reading this I guess that means you'll be following me around for the time being. I'm not really used to sort of thing so I'll try keeping you entertained as this first person POV goes on.

I bet you're wondering what makes the main character of this story so special, right?

Am I the smartest kid in class? The most athletic? Maybe even that popular kid that gets all the girls?

I'm here to tell you that....I'm neither.

Yup, I'm just a regular guy like everyone else.

Yeah, sorry to disappoint you...wait why am I even apologizing? What's wrong with being average?

I might not be "the best" but at least I'm not "the worst".

Ahem...anyways let's go back to introductions...

My last name isn't important. At least not anymore since I had been placed in foster care at the age of 10.

5 years later I was taken in by Isanari Uesugi, and became apart of the Uesugi family.

What surprised me was that even though they were constantly in debt, he still decided to look after me. He's a good man, I'm still thankful to this very day.

It's been 2 years now and I have connected with the other members of the family: Fuutarou and Raiha Uesugi.

My relationship with Raiha instantly took off. She's very easy to talk to and her role in the family is nothing to joke about. Acting as the mother of now 3 males is no easy task. I wanted to make things easier for her so I asked her to teach me the basics in cooking. I got better with time and now both of us take care of the household chores.

On the other hand, my relationship with Fuutarou took a bit longer to manifest. We were the same age but we didn't know squat about each other. Eventually he heard about my situation and he opened himself more up to me. Since I was somewhat of a bookworm like him, we bonded over things like that. We're labeled as step-brothers but I honestly think of him as my best friend.

Well...we're each others only friend(we're both loners) .

Anyways that brings us to present day. Currently I'm in school with Fuutarou and we're on our way to eat lunch.

"Don't you get tired of having the same meal everyday?" I asked.

"Of course not. The Barbecue meal without the Barbecue is the cheapest and best item the cafeteria has to offer." Fuutarou replied.

"...right."

As for me I had my homemade sandwich that I had made. It's hard living off a budget but we manage.

It was the start of our second year of high-school and just like the first year, I plan to successfully pass without knowing what I'm doing half the time.

Fuutarou is a person you might call a "tryhard" in school. He's one of smartest students in class and he does everything with ease.

Meanwhile I kinda just...get lucky?
